 Tom Seeley is now part of Gat Creek.  A pioneer in the antique business, Tom Seely has spent a lifetime valuing the craftsmanship of Early American cabinetmakers, recognizing a love and integrity in their work and developing an eye for the simple sophistication of their designs. - We build all of our furniture by hand, one piece at a time, for you. When one of our cabinetmakers completes a piece of furniture, he/she personally signs and dates it. - We use the term “antique reproduction” in reference to both the style of our furniture and the manner in which we construct it. We don’t simply make furniture to look like antiques…we make furniture the way antiques were originally built. - We work exclusively with solid wood and still use many of the fine woodworking techniques considered standard in the 19th century. - We still make all of our furniture in the United States. We produce about half of our furniture in an oversized workshop in Berkeley Springs, West Virginia. A collection of more than 25 individual workshops – many owned by Amish and Mennonite families – handbuilds the remainder in Ohio and Pennsylvania. | |||||||||||||
